When you are trying to conceive and can't, there is no place more harmful to the spirit than Babies R Us. The last time I was there was in May of 2006 when I had to buy a gift for a friend's baby shower and it was so depressing that I vowed never to go back. Well, this weekend I made a triumphant return - this time with B - to make our first baby purchase!
I've been too scared to buy anything to date, and I still don't want to buy anything big, but I just had to buy SOMETHING. We have, after all, made it to the second trimester so we should at least celebrate that! Of course, we didn't buy anything that was critical, it was just symbolic value. We are now the proud owner of a package of 5 green and yellow onesies (those one piece t-shirt things with snaps at the bottom to cover the diaper) and 6 Winnie the Pooh bibs. :) It was exciting to say the least to have the occasion to buy something that OUR babies will actually use.
Here is the funny part: I realized later that the bibs are large feeding bibs for when babies eat solid foods several months later! LOL But they sure are cute. I just LOVE seeing all these characters from my own childhood. It makes me soooo happy. I then embarked on a massive search for nursery themes on Sunday (online) but amazingly there aren't too many that are cute and gender neutral (for a boy and a girl). If we really do have a boy and girl, I may have to get creative. :)
Our next appointment is on Monday.
